iShares Silver Trust (SLV) Options

Only trouble with physical is its harder to sell when you want to, else you keep it forever.

In any event physical is the way to go. 

LOL it doesn't work that way. Economy cratering means less demand for silver so silver goes down!

When there is market turmoil people flee from the market and run to SLV for stability. However when doing that they are creating SLV . This causes SLV to go DOWN in price:

https://www.bullionvault.com/silver-price-chart.do

The SLV market is so small it is easy to move.

This is why the SLV market goes down when the market is down and proves that buying SLV causes the creation of SLV and makes the market go DOWN.

SLV is the main tool for control.

That is a great idea. I was at the bank today
dropped the deposit box and had paper rolls
bust open. I don't think they were to happy
with me:( Thanks for the info, PVC pipe is

Here is an option. However you could build your own for a lot less money out of a piece of pvc pipe and a couple caps for the ends.

Thanks, I will.

yes keep it out of any bank HAve a home safe you can hide and lock or a locable file cabinet

Thanks very much for your reply, yes what you're saying is what I worry about. Appreciated!

Here is an article about SLV manipulation.

https://www.zerohedge.com/precious-metals/mechanics-silver-price-suppression

However. Notice that the guy does not mention suppression at delivery times. And he also does not mention the way they use SLV to suppress the price of silver. He still believes that the only way they smash the price is via shorting.

If the market is suppressed via SLV rather than shorts there is less odds of a short squeeze.

He sounds like another metal salesman that wants to get people riled up and wanting to buy silver.

There are endless digits available to suppress silver.

Yes Bix Weir has been advocating keeping your metals in your own possession for a long time now. I can only tell you what I am doing for myself as I'm not qualified to give financial advise. For myself.................I keep all presious metal I own out of the banks. I wouldn't even have 90% silver in a safety deposit box.
Simply put......... I would not trust the banks or the government if all hell was to break lose. Banks can be locked down under those circumstances which I think is his reason for saying to have it in your own possession. If you don't hold it, you don't own it.
Gold was confiscated from safety deposit boxes back during the depression. People did get paid something like 50 cents over spot at that time , but still.
I can't imagine it coming to that but I don't know.
To me silver is more important than gold for various reasons, military being # 1 but there are countless other reasons as well. If they were to confiscate Gold again this time around, you can bet they would throw silver into the mix.
Bottom line..............I wouldn't be paranoid about it...............just keep a close eye on geopolitical happenings.

Thanks for posting that video, very interesting. One question, when he says "have your silver in your own possession" does that mean I should take my silver from my Banks safety deposit box and bring it home? Thanks for your time. I'm just a rookie In silver.

Gold and Silver prices both spike to session highs after U.S. new home sales rebound in February $SLV

In my novice/learning days, I remember GOLD at "$250.00", as a novice, limited to learning, these days, I feel the Metals will catch up faster as a market correction looms just ahead!

Therefore, I'm Long SLV ITM Calls through 2026

Yeah. I mean the metals markets "should" be in a bull market. They have been manipulated for a very long time. Silver especially.

Here is a 20 year gold chart:



And a 20 year silver:



If the price of silver followed the price of gold, the price of silver would be around 80 - 90 dollars per ounce.

They can't let that happen.

Gold is an asset. It is not used industrially. Silver is. Futures contracts and physical delivery.

All markets are under their control. The metal markets especially. Computers control the markets.

Silver deliveries and futures markets. Important. The computers have endless digits to manipulate the markets.

Remember the metal salesmen tell us that silver is like gold but on steroids. The price of silver is supposed to LEAD the price of gold. Maybe before computers that may have been true. They control it.

AlwaysRed,


I know you said you sold and that is good.

I don't know what is going on, if there is no smash this week then maybe silver is going be "let" go higher and they have to find new price level to manipulate at ?

Here I messaged that I sold my Short position after the SLV price rose due to the dollar:

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175937849

I am not sure how lo they will get it.

https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.volume.html

Still some to go. I'll buy at the end of the month. Maybe they let it rise a little.

So why is the Comex delisting contracts? 

Alwaysred,




Do you still expect 26-28 before this month is over ? They going need one heck of a smash.



"Can't wait.

I just sold all my AGQ and long positions. I have bought heavily into ZSL.

I am expecting ZSL to go between 42 and 44 dollars.

Last month for the fist time I was long AGQ and SHORT ZSL. Fantastic! Shorting a short. LOL

I am expecting silver between 26 and 28 dollars over the next month."

The ongoing gold price rally represents a dire warning for the future position of the U.S. dollar in international markets, according to Mohamed El-Erian, Former CEO of PIMCO and current president of Queens’ College, Cambridge.

“I think the gold issue is really important,” El-Erian said in an interview with Bloomberg on Wednesday morning ahead of the FOMC rate announcement. “You've heard me argue here [that] people cannot escape the dollar as a reserve currency, but they can start slowly doing two things. One is building pipes around it, and two, changing the asset allocation to include a little bit of other things. And gold is one of the other things.”

“This should be flashing yellow in Washington here, that if gold continues to go up, regardless of all this, it's broken down all its historical correlations,” he added. “There's something going on about the dollar internationally, and that's something that they have to take really seriously.” $SLV

There are so many variables. The manipulation of all the markets is complicated.

Here are some charts:

Dollar index over the last 3 months:



SLV over the last 3 months:



So as the dollar falls in value the metals rise.

This part of the algo is separate from the contract part.

The computers have control of the economy and the markets:

NEW - Elon Musk says the U.S. government operates "magic money computers" that "send money out of nothing."pic.twitter.com/ucHEqn5WOJ— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) March 17, 2025

I am good at recognizing patterns.

I have no control of the dollar index. I have no control of the metal manipulation. I do the best I can playing the game.

After my last email the dollar collapsed and the price of the metals spiked. I sold my position and took my profits.

If the contracts for March are fulfilled and a falling dollar. That combination could cause the price of SLV to rise. All we can do is watch and play the trends.

If there is a combination of a RISING dollar and contracts due for May we could see SLV fall considerably.

Smash coming soon ?




Looks like contracts are around 2000 for the month, and we are about 2 weeks left.....they have been delivering at these price ranges so far, I do see the volume bars aren't peaking they seem to be kind of low.....trying to figure out what price they are comfortable with....seems low $30s so far isnt bad for delivering for them and I guess they are making money at these prices.


Let's see how the last half of the month does ?

Dedollarization?

Not so much:

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/de-dollarization-was-always-more-political-slogan-pecuniary-fact

"They couldn’t realistically de-dollarize in the way that the most dogmatic ideologues imagined without immense cost to themselves or replacing their dependence on the US/dollar with China/the yuan."

I am not 100% sure how they operate this scam.

Perhaps many of the contracts don't need to be delivered at all.

But if there are contracts that were set 1 year ago and the company that bought the silver contracts does NOT need the silver to be delivered they may have those contracts moved forward and renegotiated. If the economy is not doing well or a company like Sony is not doing well they may not need their contract delivered. If they don't need it delivered they can move that contract forward.

Perhaps the contracts are just paper contracts, fraudulent contracts that never need to be filled. Just simply a tool for market manipulation. They can do whatever they want with those contracts. I am not sure because I don't work there.

But I am sure that they leave the actual physical deliveries for last.

All I can do is to tell you to look at the delivery months and look at the price fluctuation. Look at the charts. Do the best you can with the knowledge you have. Timing the exact top and bottom is very difficult. But there is enough of a fluctuation in the prices to accommodate large gains even if you don't hit the exact top or bottom. I am always more comfortable buying at the bottom and watching the price go up rather than shorting at the top and watching the price go down.

Maybe you should just wait for contracts to be filled and buy at the bottom and watch the price rise.

Missing 10% at the top or bottom for me does not matter when there is a 50% play. Even a 10% gain in a 2 month flip is equal to what a money manager promises you for a 1 year gain. 10% in 2 months X 6. That is a decent yearly gain.

I do much better than that. It can be done. There is a high probability that you can gain 30% or better each flip.

My ZSL right now is at a 12% gain. I hope to gain 30%. I am better at up than down. Then I am back into AQG. My last AGQ gain was 18%. The silver price stalled shy of 33. I thought I'd get 35. Didn't happen. I did not hit the bottom. I did not hit the exact top. I seldom do. But there is plenty of profit. There is plenty of leeway. The silver price last flip only moved from 29-33. It was not the best flip. I'll happily take my 18%.

My ZSL being at 12% currently with the amount of silver left to deliver for March is amazing. If ZSL goes to 40 bucks it will make me very happy.

AGQ drops to 34 and I am very happy. I am a buyer of AGQ at SLV 28.xx.

I would love to see SLV dance between 26-28 and 32-35.

Slowly sell and take profits on the way up and if you don't hit the bottom with your buys. Buy the dips/smashes. Average up or down.

The idea is to play the range the best the YOU can. Some flips are better than others. All gains are good. The template is there.

Alwaysred,



I don't have this all figured out and even though you likely are explaining as simple as possible so bare with me.


They fill the higher ones first and then keep dropping the price to get the rest ?


Also, I will add, you got this drop right but March of 2024 it didnt do the same....

Now last year I bought year AGQ early and sold because I was up big and sold before March expecting a drop and I bought ZSL and from beginning of March to end of March the silver price rose, lucky I got out before losing my AGQ gains but it didnt do what I thought it would do in March last year.

So it doesn't do the same every time it seems ?

I think they moved those contracts forward and didn't fill them. And when they moved them forward they may have moved them at a new, higher contracted price.

Slowly raising the bar.

My comments are not always directed towards you specifically. But to the board in general. There are a lot of people watching.

Hopefully learning.

Funny thing is if I started a monthly subscription talking about how silver was in shortage and that it was going to the moon etc etc. I could probably make money preaching the silver God.

But I am here offering FREE knowledge and information on how to make oodles of money off the manipulated silver market and it is such a struggle to get people to remove themselves from the matrix. It literally has taken years and there are many who still believe the propaganda peddlers. When the evidence is historical. Month after month year after year of documented proof simply by looking at the charts. The historical silver chart shows concretely that what I am saying and have been doing for years is true. And the historic silver chart proves that what the metal salesmen have been repeating for years is incorrect.

The proof is in the pudding they say.

The only reasons I am still here in SLV and on this board is for profit and vindication.

Alwaysred,


"1 year ago the price of silver was 24.31

I'm not exactly sure when the contracts were set. I am not exactly sure how much they were set at."


I'm really confused if the price of silver was around $24-28 last year March, then why did they deliver those 50 million for around $31 ? Why not between $24-28 ? Wouldn't that more gains for them ?

Alwaysred,


There are 5000 ounces per contract.

5006X5000=25,030,000

25,030,000 ounces X Current silver price (31.16)= $779,934,800

So 3/4 of a BILLION dollars worth of silver yet to deliver for March

1 year ago the price of silver was 24.31"


I'm not frustrated or profiting on silver at the moment. Just thought that was large delivery 50,000 million ounces.

.

There are 5000 ounces per contract.

5006X5000=25,030,000

25,030,000 ounces X Current silver price (31.16)= $779,934,800

So 3/4 of a BILLION dollars worth of silver yet to deliver for March

1 year ago the price of silver was 24.31

I'm not exactly sure when the contracts were set. I am not exactly sure how much they were set at.

But let's look at those prices.

31.16 - 24.31 = $6.85 difference between current silver prices and prices last year.

779,934,800 X $6.85 difference per ounce from this year to last = $5,342,553,380 Billion dollar difference.

Who takes that loss?
How can that loss be reduced?
I believe that the actual physical deliveries are left for last. They often simply move contracts that don't need to be filled forward. You are seeing that now as they are moving contracts to May.

Were the contracts set at 24 dollars last year? I don't know. I still believe that we are going between 26 and 28 dollars.

Remember they are making money on the way up and down on these moves. So I have no idea where their average is.

But I know this for sure. This is how they do it:



4 weeks of gains for silver longs gone in 1 week.

Are you frustrated or are you profiting?

Alwaysred,

Pretty big delivery at this level, what is that 50 million ounces ?

China’s central bank purchases 10 tonnes of gold in December, analysts say it's nowhere near done buying $SLV

Cannabis, Alcohol and Precious Metals will be what to invest in during Trump Tariffs and 2025 $SLV

Just to give you an idea what you are missing if you are holding long and not playing the game.

Here is a chart of ZSL. The silver short:



Look at the stochastics. Fantastic. Flippers dream. I'm not going to get to technical here, but if you overlap these charts with the delivery months you will notice something special.

30-32 to 40-42 dollars. Back and forth.

A very modest 1000 share purchase can gain you 10,000 dollars per flip.

Now lets look at AGQ:



Same deal. delivery months. Stochastics.

30 - 50 possible. But typically 34-44. Again, a ten dollar flip.

Same deal. 1000 shares = 10K

Now I am telling you that the volume on these stocks can accommodate the price of a house with the click of a mouse.

Say you buy 10,000 shares of AGQ it goes up 10 bucks. Math.......

Remember this flip game is done bi-monthly accept from Sept to Dec and Dec to March. 3 month flip on those.

Now lets say you buy physical and hold it long. 26 to 35 back to 26 to 35 back to 26 to 35. Your profit is minimum. Only the appreciation they allow you to have. Listen to the metal salesmen. Silver to the moon. Never talk about futures contracts and the power of SLV and GLD. I know I know silver shortage. But yet there is silver in the ground everywhere.

I've been doing this for years. I've been trying to teach this for years. And I'm the idiot.

The Global Silver Shortage: Brace Yourself for Soaring Demand!!
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CYUy2cqtZ1w

$SLV

Of course we see it

Have you been watching?:

Here is the SLV Volume lately. You see the smashes on the 14th and yesterday?

Look at that steady increase in volume. The higher the bars, the lower the silver price. Simple.

Look at the volume bars on the graph that coincide with the smashes:





The metal market is controlled by SLV and GLD. SLV especially.

Contracts are needing delivery for March at the contracted prices set 1 year ago.

It does not matter if there is only 100 physical ounces of silver left on earth the metal market prices will still be determined by SLV. Endless digits.

The metal salesmen will tell you there is a shortage of metal. Then why is there metal EVERYWHERE? In the ground assayed and ready to go. Metal. Everywhere.

26-28 by the end of March and then we see an increase in price prior to May deliveries.

Month after month, year after year. Same story.

And the metal salesmen keep saying the same things with the same result. They are wrong.

That has nothing to do with the bouillon banks

Here's a look on the physical side.

Went to a coin show over the weekend. Every place I stopped offered silver at close to spot pricing. Everyone!!!

Not the case with gold. Almost no proofs. What was out there was well over spot, which is normal.

It will be interesting to see if silver will break below $30.00 an oz

Can't wait.

I just sold all my AGQ and long positions. I have bought heavily into ZSL.

I am expecting ZSL to go between 42 and 44 dollars.

Last month for the fist time I was long AGQ and SHORT ZSL. Fantastic! Shorting a short. LOL

I am expecting silver between 26 and 28 dollars over the next month.

Could be hopefully it is
The manipulation is just so clear and I don't understand how they keep getting away with this

Force majeure ?

For not being a delivery month, they sure have sold a lot of contracts so far this month!
Read somewhere over 4000 contracts so far and the month isn't over yet.
What happens next month which is a delivery month?
